Does vomiting during exorcism prove success? Can vomiting be forced?

Do not injure someone by putting fingers down their throat to make them vomit, nor assume vomiting proves success. We discussed a disputed video in which someone forced vomiting, claimed the ghost was expelled and injured the person’s throat. This copied an outward action without understanding the reaction.

In Sheng Zhen Men’s experience, energetic resonance during a ritual sometimes brings spontaneous vomiting, understood as negativity leaving. Incense, implements or recitation may produce reactions without bodily contact. That differs from using force to induce vomiting.

We minimise contact. When needed, we explain hand placement and implements beforehand, ask about discomfort and respect the person. We also investigate causes and further help, rather than assume one movement resolves everything.

Practitioners said some reactions arise naturally, so they avoid forceful expulsion that further exhausts someone already struggling. Yet weak individuals sometimes require more assistance, making the work harder and leaving them more tired afterwards. Consider these situations together rather than focus only on vomiting or dramatic reactions.

Ming Fen described vomiting, crying out and somewhat clouded awareness during treatment, a difficult experience. Afterwards, we said personal practice still remained. Intense reactions did not mean everything was completely resolved.

Regarding my wooden sword on that occasion, I said opening my eyes and seeing her position startled me; she said contact felt light. These are two accounts then, not a guarantee that moving implements with closed eyes never injures. I oppose imitation through beating or throat-digging, and do not want copied movements to replace causes, feelings and aftercare.
